You get what you pay for. Though my carpet is very thin the mate gets indentations from the chair while I sit. I don't know how long it will last if day after day the legs of the chair indent the same location on the mate. I previously had a very thick mate but didn't want to spend 75.00 or better so I'll try this one.
I bought this to replace the exact same item that I purchased four years ago so that show the longegivity of this mat. The price has increased by ten dollars over those four years though. And yes over time the plastic does what plastic does - yellows and cracks but the old one although cracked is still fully intact. I will be using it to protect surfaces when I do craft and painting projects. I do wish I knew how to recycle this large piece of plastic. Recycle centers don't want it and I don't want to send it to a landfill - but probably will eventually.
I'm using in a home office on a low pile carpet. The mat does not slide but effectively lets my chair slide while protecting the carpet. Wonderful price ... Wonderful value!
I have a 1/4" pile carpet and the casters from my desk chair sink into the mat and make it difficult to move the chair. That is precisely what I was trying to avoid by buying the mat!
